For centuries, people have been trying to understand what worried generations that lived on the planet before them. Today, along with traditional methods of familiarizing with the cultural heritage - the study of art, archaeological sites and ancient texts, other, no less common methods are used.
Every year, hundreds of time capsules are being dug out all over the world - original premises from the past. Each new capsule is filled with objects that people who lived many years ago considered it necessary to inform descendants.

Finding a time capsule is always an event, no matter what is inside. On October 11, 2018, a representative of the historical society Joe Mini spoke about an amazing new find.
“We knew there was something there, ” he said. “But we didn’t know exactly what it is or how significant it is.”

On the ruins of Thompson High School in Nova Scotia, for example, a metal container was found sealed inside a cement block.
To open the "premise", the seekers needed patience, time and grease in large quantities.
Inside the mysterious cache was found a newspaper dated 1949 and countless documents containing information about prominent figures of that era. Also inside the capsule was a wallet with well-preserved coins and banknotes.

In the same year, another capsule was discovered at the Central Elementary school in Kenova Hills (Michigan, USA). She was found by local enthusiasts, led by the director of the school, Cherie Horner.
Unfortunately, the printed “treasure” did not please the seekers. The capsule contained a newspaper article dedicated to the memory of David Michael Raap, who died at 10 years old. Probably, the death of the boy was a tragic loss for the entire community, since they decided to inform the descendants about this.
In addition to the newspaper, dated 1967, there were four other documents, including a list of curricula and a directory for students.
